NB: From the Editor
WELCOME to the 5th year anniversary issue of The Antitrust Source. In our November 2001 inaugural issue, Editorial Chair Chris Hockett wrote, "We hope to be THE online source for the entire range of issues that ‘Antitrust' encompasses…." Over the past five years we have worked hard to become the source for up-to-the minute expert analysis on the hottest issues in antitrust – beginning with our all-Microsoft issue in the inaugural publication and culminating in our current roundup on everything from the economic analysis of Section 2 and what to expect from the Antitrust Modernization Commission's report to the risks and rewards of the government's leniency program and the pitfalls of pretexting. We have covered it.
We thank all those who have contributed over the past five years to The Antitrust Source. We welcome your continuing input for the next five years. Please send submissions and suggestions to us at antitrust@att.net.
We also thank our sponsor, the ABA Section of Antitrust Law, for its ongoing support of The Antitrust Source.
And finally, we thank our readers. We hope you enjoy this special 5th year anniversary issue.
